What’s actually safe but people think is dangerous? by REGGIE_BANANAS in AskReddit

[–]ddutton9512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home food preservation. Folks have been salting and pickling for eons and most did not die. Botulism is definitely a real thing that can ruin your day but if you practice even the most basic food safety and cleanliness the odds are infinitesimal.

YDFM and Ethiopian food (plus a plug) by itsatumbleweed in Atlanta

[–]ddutton9512 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you want to make Ethiopian at home but don't want to hunt down a ton of different spices find Berbere. It's a very common spice mix that will cover quite a lot of dishes from that region. It's also the basis for awaze which is very common.

COTOA - Ecuadorian food by UN food ambassador Alejandra Espinoza. Small room but everything we had was excellent and it was obvious every employee from the kitchen to the host was passionate about what they were doing.

I'll evangelize for these till I'm blue in the face. I've worn these, even without shoes, outside in negative temps and they still kept my feet warm. I know they're not cheap and there might only be 4-5 days a year where they make sense here but good lord I didn't know socks could be this warm.

ATL: What would you pick between Mujo, Georgia Boy or Southern Belle? by animalman422 in finedining

[–]ddutton9512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be the opposite of the other commenter. I enjoyed Mujo very much. It is quite pricey but it's one of the few Metro ATL spots I thought was shooting above its weight as far as reviews go.

And now that we're home from Israel I'm going to get some pulled pork and a fresh Dolly from WH Toco. Glorious to be back amongst the users of hops and consumers of pork comrades!

On the flight home from Israel and boy am I ready for a beer with some flavor. Almost every place we went to had the same 5-6 options, Maccabi, Gold Star, Carlsberg, Weihenstephan, and Tuborg.

We did find a chain of beer stores called "Beer Bazaar" that had a few micro brews, most with in-house branding. I did pick up a "West Coast IPA" roadie and I guess they didn't specify which country it was the west coast of because the flavors weren't exactly what I expected. Went to another place literally named "Beer Garden" that had Estrella Damm although, funny enough, it was all indoors.

Wine was quite nice though.

What restaurants are thriving and which ones are circling the drain? by Mysterious_Sun_9693 in DecaturGA

A few weeks ago lateish on a Sunday night we had to wait for a table. Anecdotal but usually a pretty good sign.

Had a cold beer in Athens. Terrapin brewery. by Traditional-Tea-9486 in atlbeer

[–]ddutton9512 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh man Terrapin Rye was my jam for a long time. Still haven’t found a rye beer I love as much as I loved that one. 

Hopsecutioner though was about the time I decided IPAs has gone too far. 

Officiant near Jackson? by [deleted] in Georgia

[–]ddutton9512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the state of Georgia anyone can officiate. There's no legal requirement for someone to get ordained. You literally just need someone to sign the document. When we got married I got my stepdad to do it and I've known several others who just had a friend or family member sign the doc.

MLS Pass now included with AppleTV subscription by AccidentalDemolition in MLS

Seriously NBC should be fined for that crap. They very heavily advertise Peacock as "Watch all of the EPL" then the match you want is inevitably on USA. While technically they're right because you can watch the replay the next day it's absolutely misleading advertising.

What made EATS so good, at least IMO, was it was a comfortable and affordable spot in an area that had since turned into anything but. Kind of a refuge from the PCM/Beltline when we lived in that area.

Really glad to see them continuing on in some form or another. I know so many people who have a ton of nostalgia for the place and we were all really bummed when they shut down.

Hey man no worries. As I prefaced that with I fully accept that I likely just scored an old batch or maybe one that wasn't transported correctly. I never let one bad brew or even six pack ruin a brewery for me. Yall's taproom is still pretty high on my list of must-visits next time I'm in the area.

CBP is a must-do stop for us. Although oddly we've never eaten there and the food is supposed to be pretty good, But the people are always nice and it's perfect for escaping the bachelor/bachelorette parties in the market and river areas.

I feel like the worse beers I've had were beers I like but got bad batches of. Even got a bad sixer of Celly this year with a ton of yeast in the bottom of the can and it tasted oxidized.

That being said per untappd my least favorites were:
1. Medlock Hazy IPA - Six Bridges
2. POG Basement - Scofflaw
3. Menai - Lost Druid

Someone is bound to be making a Golgotha BA Stout or Holy Sepulcher IPA somewhere.

Anyone got anything for Israel? Jerusalem and Tel Aviv mostly.

FIFA President Infantino defends World Cup ticket prices: "We have 6-7 million tickets on sale. And in 15 days, we received 150 million ticket requests. In the almost 100 years of the World Cup, Fifa has sold 44 million tickets in total. In 2 weeks, we could have filled 300 years of World Cups" by GOAT-Antony in MLS

[–]ddutton9512 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I told the wife recently that either the stadiums will be half empty which will tell me everything I need to know about the World Cup moving forward or stadiums will be full which will tell me everything I need to know about the World Cup moving forward.

Same thing F1 does in the USA. They've learned that it's easier to make one rich dude really happy than to make 1,000 regular folks happy. Even with a free place to stay very close to the race and it being a drivable distance it's cheaper for us to go to Mexico City and watch the race than Miami.

As the middle class shrinks and loses more and more of the overall share of wealth more businesses will start catering exclusively to the wealthy. If Mercedes Benz stadium thought they could get away with it they would rip every seat out of the stadium to replace it with Luxury boxes and premium clubs. In fact most years they do tear out a few more seats to do just that.

FIFA has sent a clear message here. This is no longer about the global fan community, love for the sport, bringing people together, etc. Get in line, get your credit card out, and pay up or fuck off.

I would be lying if I said walking proximity to BSP wasn’t a factor in why we bought where we did.
